Sharing Strategies for Health Equity: Social Medicine in Action
The Social Medicine Consortium is pleased to hold its third annual conference, Sharing Strategies for Health Equity on April 28, 2018. This year, we are pleased to partner with COPE (copeprogram.org) to make this event possible.
The conference this year will focus on the ways in which we can organize and take action within our local communities to impact the structural and social determinants of health that promote illness and inequity across the US and around the world. We have a deep desire to learn from the Navajo community as a leading example of broad engagement in social justice and equity. The conference on April 28th will be open to the broader community and public with projected participation of 350+ health professionals, educators, leaders and engaged community members who are dedicated to furthering the social medicine movement.
The conference will run from 8 AM- 5:30 PM, and will include a mix of keynote presentations, interactive breakout sessions, panels, and a poster session.
We have collectively identified the following objectives for the conference:
1.Recognize the specific ways that economic systems, colonization, and racism create and reproduce health inequities in local settings throughout the world;
2.Critically examine personal and professional participation in creating, reproducing, and challenging these root causes of health inequities;
3.Describe examples from Navajo Nation that demonstrate the connection between historical injustice and health as well as examples of their resistance and community organizing that foster health;
4.Identify examples of tools being used in the practice of social medicine, develop the skills necessary for practice amongst participants, and deepen the strategic partnerships around curriculum development and transformative social medicine education;
5.Explain the aim and actions of the Campaign Against Racism as a constructive strategy to build health equity and identify ways to be involved;
6.Establish SMC chapters in their local settings with clear goals and direct actions for the next year;
7.Explore concepts of environmental justice and its intersection with health through the experiences of local leaders.
